"Syme had vanished. A morning came, and he was missing... a few thoughtless people commented on his absence. On the next day, no body mentioned him. On the third day Winston went... to look at the notice board... It looked almost almost exactly as it had looked before- nothing had been crossed out- But it was one dame shorter... Syme had ceased to exist; he had never existed." (147)
Syme was vaporized. This is important because he was very loyal to the Party, but he was taken off the face of the Earth because he was too smart for them. He intimidated them, even though he liked the Party. The Party will take anyone out the moment they sense even the smallest possibility of danger.
